Frost Death Knight: recommended gear (SimulationCraft)
For every slot: the item from SimulationCraft’s raid profile for Frost Death Knight in Midnight Season 2 (patch 12.1.5), with the raid boss, dungeon or profession it comes from. Hover an item for details.
The selection comes from SimulationCraft’s raid profile for this specialization – a typical, strong gear set that the SimC developers maintain for simulations. It is no guarantee for “best in slot”: what helps your character most depends on stats, item level, talents and the fight – best simulate it yourself. Item level, gems and enchants are not shown here. Alternatives are the differing items of the hero talent variants of the same profile.
